His Vision
Chief Morrell's vision for the Fire Department has been met over the past few years by staffing career firefighters and paramedics 24/7 - maintaining a reserve / volunteer staff - and bringing advanced life support fire department ambulance to Lafayette to provide the highest level of life safety possible to our residents. A second fire station near Exempla Hospital will open in 2013.
